Today's I Ching for Thomas Jefferson

The present is embodied in Hexagram 30 - Li (Fire): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct, and in doing so there will be a free course and success. Let him also nourish a docility like that of the cow, and there will be good fortune.

The second line, divided, shows its subject in his place in yellow. There will be great good fortune.

The situation is evolving slowly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.

The future is embodied in Hexagram 14 - Ta Yu (Possession in Great Measure): There will be great progress and success.

The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which represents brightness and warmth.

The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to strength and creativity.
